1	* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: When Creator/JerryOrbach died of cancer early in the show's short run, Lennie Briscoe also passed away. His departure was never addressed in-show, but was mentioned a few years later on [[Series/LawAndOrder the Mothership]].
2	* DeletedScene: A scene showing the other characters returning from Briscoe's funeral was filmed, but wasn't included in any episode. It appears in an extra on the DVD release.
3	* DiedDuringProduction: Creator/JerryOrbach only finished filming the first two episodes before succumbing to his cancer.
4	* KeepCirculatingTheTapes:
5	** Of a sort. The show is readily available on DVD, however, for some strange, unexplained reason, the episodes on the DVD release are cropped into 4X3 fullscreen instead of how it was originally presented and aired on NBC in its native 16X9 widescreen. Your best bet in watching the episodes in their uncropped form is to scour the web for recordings of their original widescreen airings.
6	** Additionally, the series (along with ''Series/LawAndOrderLA'') is missing from ''Creator/{{Peacock}}'', which is Creator/{{NBC}}'s streaming platform.
7	* MissingEpisode: The final episode "Eros in the Upper Eighties" was never shown on NBC. It was shown eight months later on Court TV and is in the DVD release.
8	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Briscoe's final scene features him whispering a trial verdict to a crowd waiting by a courtroom door. The scene had to be staged this way because Creator/JerryOrbach was so weakened by his cancer that he couldn't raise his voice.
9	* RecastAsARegular: Counting only those who are recast as main characters here.
10	** Creator/BebeNeuwirth appeared as a one-shot character in ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' before being cast as Tracey Kibre.
11	** Creator/AmyCarlson appeared as one-shot characters in both ''SVU'' and the parent series before being cast as Kelly Gaffney.
12	** Creator/KirkAcevedo appeared as one-shot character in the parent series before being cast as Det. Hector Salazar.
13	** Creator/ScottCohen appeared as a three-episode guest character in the parent series before being cast as Det. Chris Ravell.
